At Aston Villa, Malen started as a substitute. The striker came on the field ten minutes before the end together with Lamare Bogarde. Justin Kluivert was in the starting line-up for Bournemouth and was taken off after more than an hour.
Aston Villa made it 3-0 thanks to goals from Emiliano Buendía, Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley. Malen made it 4-0 in the 82nd minute. He deflected a shot from his teammate Youri Tielemans.
Malen had also been accurate in the Europa League against Maccabi Tel Aviv midweek. News that will undoubtedly sound like music to the ears of national coach Ronald Koeman. The attacker will join the Dutch national team this week for the final World Cup qualifiers.
